This is an interactive writing activity that allows students to familiarize themselves with character traits and thematic elements in literature, while giving them an opportunity to explore their skills in creative writing.

Students will practice reading, oral and listening skills based on the theme Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles, by working with a virtual tour of the painter’s bedroom and by producing their own recordings of podcasts about the virtual tour.

This research resource suggests you some best sites of dataset collection which some of you might have known earlier. In the research field of machine learning, it is always tough to find the related dataset and if found it is always hard to filter some. Now that technologies have imporved, this article suggests some well known resources to collect your dataset related to your research. 

"I never knew a whole family to live together, till all were grown up, in my life," recalls Lewis Clarke of his twenty-five years enslaved in Kentucky.1 Families were separated due to sale, escape, early death from poor health, suicide, and murder by a slaveholder, overseer, slave patroller, or other dominant person. Separation also occurred within the plantation itself, e.g., by segregating "field slaves" from "house servants," removing children from parents to live together with a slave caretaker, or bringing children fathered by the slaveholder to live in the "Big House." How, then, did the slave family provide solace and identity? "What the family does, and what the family did for African Americans," writes historian Deborah White Gray, "was create a world outside of the world of work. It allowed for significant others. It allowed a male slave to be more than just a brute beast. It allowed him to be a father, to be a son. It allowed women to be mothers and to take on roles that were outside of that of a slave, of a servant."2 When did the enslaved child realize how his or her family life differed from the slave-holder's? How did enslaved adults cope with the forced disintegration of their families? Here we read a collection of texts—two letters, a memoir, and interview excerpts—to consider these questions.

This is a scaffolded lesson plan that is in the first-year composition genre: narrative. The scaffolded lesson is a Canvas discussion post that covers open-ended writing prompts that centers students' funds of knowledge through connecting their lived experiences and/or prior knowledge to analyze and connect with the content. 

This resource provides description on entrepreneurship development, and elucidates on the strategies of Small Business Management in the 21st Century.

Students will be introduced to Environmental Crime and Law.  Students will consider critical questions such as, why study environmental harm?  Should these harms be considered crimes?  Furthermore, where might criminal justice and environmental degradation intersect?  A theoretical foundation will be surveyed as well as a short historical analysis of environmental movements.  The course will then turn toward looking at Environmental Crime Investigation, which organizations and databases are used for data collection, and some future issues and challenges that may emerge. 

This assignment teaches students how to evaluate arguments concerning the maldistribution of environmental hazards, based on complex quantitative data.

I will make my course more engaging by replacing disposable assignments with embodied activities, memorable experiences, and connection with students’ everyday lives. I will provide routine through scaffolded repetition so students know what to expect and understand how concepts build on each other. I will use a low-cost textbook ($10-$15) and a low-cost journal (also $10-$15). All other materials will be available for download on the course LMS for no extra cost. Each activity below will highlight one of the three key ideas in environmental justice theory followed by a reflection exercise to ensure the students understand the nuances between them. I will also add a discussion board to the LMS so students can post examples of environmental injustices they read about in the media or learn about in their daily lives. The intent of the Discussion Board is to foster sharing and create community.

Course combines the fields of ecology and conservation with planning for the efficient use and preservation of land, water, wildlife, and forests. Within this course may be topics covering environmental factors affecting water, water pollution, water and land use management, alternative energy resources, metals and minerals.

The Environment and the Earth class at the University of South Carolina participated in a campus environmental service-learning project where students collected data lighting, water fixtures, recycling bins, and trash in five academic buildings.

Epplets present extended Parsons puzzles. In a Parsons puzzle, the student is presented a problem statement, and a program to implement it, but with the lines in the program scrambled. The student must reassemble the lines in their correct order and eliminate distracters. The tutor provides feedback until the student arrives at the correct solution. Epplets help students construct the algorithm for a problem.

When equations are presented in class or in the context of textbook reading, students first evaluate whether the equation is appropriate for use in the dictionary (is it useful in many situations or specific to one problem? Is it a "final" version of an equation, or can it be simplified? Is it likely to be used in solving geophysical problems?) Once an equation is selected for the dictionary, students add a "definition" that includes (a) a short description of each variable and relevant constants, including appropriate units, (b) a written description of the process or relationships presented within the equation, and (c) any additional notes that help them understand the equation. The dictionary may be used on homework and exams, which encourages students to describe the equations in a manner that is meaningful to them. Thus, rather than simply write down the equation for seismic moment, a student might add "Seismic moment is a function of the size of the fault as well as the rigidity of the rock. The larger the fault or the displacement, the larger the earthquake". This activity allows students to evaluate their understanding of equations and the underlying physical processes.
